Olympics, Day 15: Images, images…

August 11, 2012

… just to prove that I have been keeping busy. These games have not been a real streak of victory for Finland — we have gotten two medals, both from sailing and we basically have potential for one, two more tonight in the men’s javelin. I’ve been working in London, so unfor­tu­nately no great images from Weymouth.

I have covered e.g. kayak and little bit of track — this morning I did the 50km walk race. The ending was pretty dramatic as the other Finnish compe­titor Antti Kempas was taken away with a wheelchair after a total collapse on the finishing line.

Anyway, couple of images from the days gone by.

Tero Pitkämäki getting ready for his throw in the quali­fication of javelin.

Jenni Mikkonen paddles away after quali­fying rounds in K1 200m. She did not make it to the final.
